Crunchyroll Announces Fifth Wave of Spring 2018 Simulcasts

Crunchyroll keeps on going with their fifth wave of simulcast announcements from the Spring 2018 anime season. In case you missed it we have the first four wave of announcements rounded up here: Wave 1, Wave 2, Wave 3, and Wave 4.

Bonobono, a young sea otter, bonds with Chipmunk, Fishing Cat and other friendly woodland creatures. In between the gags, this unique series deals with philosophically nuanced questions such as, “What is life?”

It is the year 2030, and the stage is the capital of Japan, Chou-Tokyo. Through “Buddyfight”, humans have started cultural interactions with residents from other worlds called “Affinity Dimensions”. Buddyfight is a game with selected humans as the “Buddyfighter”, and residents from the other world as the partner (known as “Buddy Monster”). These battles have high significance and sometimes it is even used to decide the fate of a nation, and naturally there are those who seek to use the Buddy Monsters for evil purposes.

Summer is here, and the heroes of Class 1-A and 1-B are in for the toughest training camp of their lives! A group of seasoned pros pushes everyone’s Quirks to new heights as the students face one overwhelming challenge after another. Braving the elements in this secret location becomes the least of their worries when routine training turns into a critical struggle for survival.
